Signal Alliance, others partner on profit for business

Signal Alliance says it has partnered Microsoft and Cisco to deliver Azure Stack, a solution to improve profit for businesses.
Signal Alliance Azure Practice Lead, Uche Nwaukwa said in Lagos, that Azure stack brought the agility and fast-paced innovation of cloud computing to businesses.
Nwaukwa said that businesses in Nigeria continued to find more effective ways to drive down their running costs, while improving profitability.
He said that Azure Stack solution was an innovative hybrid cloud computing solution designed to help organisations deliver their various services efficiently from their own data centers.
”Azure Stack is an extension of Microsoft Azure, which brings the agility and fast-paced innovation of cloud computing to on-premises environments,” Nwaukwa said.
He said that Azure Stack could enable businesses and government agencies leverage cloud capabilities and still maintained regulatory requirements around data residency, including Payment Card Industry Data Security Standard (PCI-DSS) compliance.
According to him, the solution serves as a hybrid cloud computing platform for edge and disconnected scenarios, which addresses latency and connectivity issues, including simple and easy-to-use analytics.
The Head, Platforms and Applications, Signal Alliance, Sikiru Abass said that the solution enabled organisations to build modern applications across hybrid cloud environments, balancing the right amount of flexibility and control.
”Moreover, with Azure Stack, developers can speed up new cloud application development by building on application components from the Azure Marketplace, including open source tools and technologies.
”With this consistent cloud platform, organisations can confidently make technology decisions based on business requirements, rather than business decisions based on technology complications,” Abass said.
Azure Stack is an integrated solution made up of software and hardware components.
Microsoft owns the software, while Cisco and other approved vendors support with their proprietary hardware.
Signal Alliance acts as the partner delivering the solution and providing support for user organisations in Nigeria.
